Five beers on tap for July 12

Beer Pub Nekotoazarashi in Mitaka announced its tap lineup for Sunday, July 12, from 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. The headline pour is Azarashi Pilsner Okawari, a collaboration beer with And Beer. The post describes it as part of a five-beer lineup, with four additional And Beer beers on the list.

The lineup

- Azarashi Pilsner Okawari / And Beer × Beer Pub Nekotoazarashi / Pilsner
- PICO PICO / And Beer / Fruit Lager / Alc. 3.9%
- SAL SAL / And Beer / Fruit Saison / Alc. 5.0%
- Vale / And Beer / Best Bitter / Alc. 4.8%
- Kiri no Machi ~Ki~ / And Beer / Piney Hazy IPA / Alc. 6.0%

According to the post, Azarashi Pilsner Okawari is a crisp pilsner designed for easy drinking in summer. The And Beer lineup ranges from a chili-and-lemon fruit lager to a margarita-inspired fruit saison, a quietly balanced bitter, and a piney hazy IPA with a resinous hop character. It is a broad spread of styles that should give lager drinkers and hop fans something to compare side by side.

The pub itself is a small, counter-focused craft beer bar about three minutes from Mitaka Station South Exit. With 10 taps and food such as chili beans, potato salad, and house-made nuggets, it is set up for pairing beer with a relaxed meal rather than just quick drinks. The post also notes that wine from the landlord of the Katsunuma brewery site, Kinjo Wine, will be available.
